Nursery Sessions and Classes

Sessions for groups of pre-school children.

Catch-a-balls can offer nurseries ball and movement skill sessions for children of 18 months to school age. We will slot into your nurseries daily routine and ensure that our session is lively entertainment for all the children.

Catch-a-balls classes are structured so that the physical development aspect of the Early Years Foundation stage and Key Stage 1 are clearly met.

During a session we focus on a variety of different skills:

We help the children explore how they can move their bodies challenging them to keep their balance, improve their co-ordination and look at the space around them.

In order to develop their ball skills we coach throwing and catching using bean bags, scarves, bats, large and small balls and balloons.
We talk about the changes in our bodies after doing exercise and the importance of keeping healthy.
Additionally, the class is structured so that the children develop their social skills through taking turns, working with a partner, small sided team games or just simply making sure that they look where they are going.
We can take groups of up to 20 children and will provide all the equipment necessary for a fun packed session.

Catch-a-balls can adapt to fit in with the themes that you are running such as Healthy week.

Catch-a-balls classes are structured so that the physical development aspect of the Early Years Foundation stage and Key Stage 1 are clearly met.

If you would be interested in seeing what we can do we would be happy to come along to do a FREE TASTER session with your children.
